level and \u2018didn\u2019t have much confidence\u2019 during his Wimbledon title run, according to Patrick Mouratoglou, though the renowned coach believes that could ultimately benefit the Italian in the long term.<\/p>\n<p>The world No 1 dropped just three sets en route to successfully defending his title at SW19, defeating Alexander Zverev 6-7(7), 7-6(2), 6-3, 6-4 in the final.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/jannik-sinner\">Sinner<\/a> boasts a stunning 44-3 win-loss record in 2026, having won five Masters 1000 titles and one Grand Slam crown.<\/p>\n<p>He became the first man to win the opening five Masters 1000 events of a season and only the second player, after Rafael Nadal in 2010, to capture all three clay-court Masters 1000 tournaments in the same year.<\/p>\n<p>Heading into the French Open, he was the overwhelming favourite to complete the Career Grand Slam by lifting the Coupe des Mousquetaires for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>However, despite leading Juan Manuel Cerundolo 6-2, 6-2, 5-1 in the second round, he succumbed to the intense Parisian heat and suffered a remarkable five-set defeat, winning just two more games.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Latest Tennis News<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a

Yes, he suffered a major disappointment at Roland Garros, but it\u2019s not as though he played badly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBefore that, he had won several matches without dropping a set, so you would expect him to have plenty of confidence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the final, he missed a lot of forehands and was retreating more than usual, whereas he is typically a player who constantly moves forward. His return of serve also wasn\u2019t as effective.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven though his level was below what we\u2019ve come to expect from him, I believe it will be extremely valuable for his future to know that he can win a Grand Slam while playing at only 70% of his true level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018Jannik Sinner won Wimbledon without confidence and at 65% of his usual level\u2019 claims Patrick Mouratoglou Oliver Paton 18 Jul 2026 9:02 PM Jannik Sinner celebrates with the Wimbledon trophy Jannik Sinner was operating at just \u201865% to 70%\u2019 of his usual level and \u2018didn\u2019t have much confidence\u2019 during his Wimbledon title run, according to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[226,249],"class_list":["post-2050419","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-crawlmanager","tag-tennis365-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2050419","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2050419"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2050419\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2050419"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2050419"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2050419"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
